8 Reasons For

Good Brand

Vivitek is one of the superior projector manufacturers according to average user and expert review score data that we have collected for all multimedia projectors.

Supports 3D Image Projection

Like most of the other multimedia projectors of this age and spec, the D803W-3D supports 3D image projection.

We compared all the other multimedia projectors which support 3D image projection to this multimedia projector and we think the Viewsonic PJD7820HD[plb_1536139_price], and the Infocus IN116A[plb_2100766_price] which has better reviews is also worth considering.

6 Reasons Against

Does Not Support Full HD Projection

The Vivitek D803W-3D does not support Full HD projection. Most of the other similar spec data projectors that are a comparable age to the D803W-3D also do not support Full HD projection.

Alternative multimedia projectors which also support Full HD projection that you might want to look at include the Viewsonic PJD7820HD[plb_1536139_price] which also has a higher rating.

Does Not Support WiFi Connectivity

The Vivitek D803W-3D does not support WiFi connectivity, although keep in mind that most of the other similar spec projectors that have been on the market for around the same time as the D803W-3D also do not support WiFi connectivity.

We compared all the other multimedia projectors which also support WiFi connectivity to this data projector and we think the Optoma EX400[plb_2110318_price], or the Epson EB-Z11005[plb_2549634_price] is also worth considering.
